The Manson story, which a Tarantino fan told me was only a small part of the film, is the only reason I have any interest in seeing this film. Do they show Sharon Tate on The Beverly Hillbillies? Is Beach Boy and Manson groupie Dennis Wilson in it? How prominent are the events of Cielo Drive in August '69?
shareThey show him in one scene when he goes to the Tate house asking for the people that used to live there. They show Sharon Tate watching herself at a cinema in a new release she co-stars in. One main character goes out to the Manson ranch but Charlie aint there, but Tex and a bunch of the others are. Tex and 3 of the girls show up again at the end.
shareDoes it climax with the murders in Benedict Canyon?
shareYes. Well kinda. Without giving it away
shareThanks!
shareYou're welcome. Just be forewarned if you're going to see this for an accurate interpretation of the Manson story this aint the film for you. I thought it was cool for what it was though
shareI saw a matinee.of it today with a friend who is also well-versed in Manson lore. Neither of us usually care much for Tarantino's films but found much of it an amusing though somewhat meandering comedy. Fantastic recreation of the culture of the period. I perked up when i heard Manson's song "Never Say Never to Always". Was a bit disappointed that neither the Spahn Movie Ranch nor events at Cielo Drive comported with reality. How can you make a Manson movie without Manson?
